Tokyopop shuttered in this week's Advicemaster Asia Open

It truly is sad that we're seeing the death of an American manga publisher, but for many of us, the writing was on the wall for a while. I'm impressed that Tokyopop stayed around as long as they did, but with Kodansha making a real move into the US scene, we've seen one publisher go down and another one pull out (Del Rey Manga).

Please, a moment of silence.

Now that we're done with that, it's time to posit the greatest mysteries of life that you have for our Advicemaster Asia correspondent. This week, he'll peer into the future of anime and manga and give you exact numbers on how many copies Ladies vs. Butlers! will sell once it's licensed here.

Ask away, and look forward to his responses on Thursday!
